This colorful medley of red and green sweet peppers and creamed corn, with a crunchy contrast of seasoned croutons, makes a delightful side dish and the perfect partner for poultry. If your child is quite young or inexperienced in the kitchen, you can help by cutting the peppers in advance and using a can opener on the corn. You could also pre-measure the other ingredients to help prep time go a bit faster.
This recipe can be cooked in the microwave instead of the standard oven, but the croutons won't be quite as crunchy.
